About us

land-based fish farming

Maiken Food AS is a company from Norway founded by Arve Gravdal.

Maiken’s RAS (Recycling Aquaculture System) consists of individual tanks, without interaction with other tanks. In other words, tanks are independent. It is a new simple technology where water is recirculated by cleansing it inside the tank.

Our first project of land-based fish farming will now come in Denmark where we have leased a land-based fish farm with licenses and infrastructure ready for operation.

While many land-based fish farming companies have adopted centralized RAS systems, Gravdal and a group of industry experts have continued developing Maiken Foods AS’s Independent Production Units (IPUs)—a simple, reliable, and efficient alternative.

With Maiken’s system, juvenile salmon weighing 200-1200 grams are stocked in the tanks and harvested months later. The entire process is fully automated.

The cost-efficiency and economic feasibility of Maiken’s technology are highly favorable. We construct individual fish tanks with short build times, allowing us to begin production in the first tank while the next tanks are still under construction. This approach generates early cash flow, significantly reduces project risk, and provides exceptional flexibility in scaling and progress.

This is a change you don’t want to miss!
